homeschooling

Now that there is no longer a reason to operate secretly, homeschooling parents can seek out other parents with similar homeschooling objectives and cooperate.

I think the point here is to teach when the student is ready and homeschooling allows the parents to do that.

Even those of us sending our kids to public schools benefit from this market in homeschooling options.

Not so much homeschooling specifically as Christian, mostly Protestant, political conservatives (often theologically fundamentalist, but not exclusively).

Actually, having a single income and homeschooling (or outschooling) can make a family more resilient and flexible, for two main reasons: 1.

I'm seriously considering homeschooling my children and I'm sort of curious what other people have done with the first schooling decision.

If this is where private/public school is headed, I'll stick to homeschooling/unschooling my kids, thanks.

So the rationale for homeschooling by this person seems, well, irrational.

I thought it was mostly the US, and even there mostly the homeschooling thing.

I'm sure it's not that way everywhere, and I'm sure that not all rural homeschooling parents are doing so for religious reasons.

I've always wondered though if it was the homeschooling or religious schooling that was the reason, though I'm inclined to believe the latter.

I know many homeschooling families who would not be described as wealthy.

I had the same reaction as the previous poster; I'm from rural Idaho, where in my experience with it, "homeschooling" is a transparent veil for "too fundamentalist for government-run schools" (which in Idaho, is terror at a very special level).

Homeschooling gives you the opportunity to take school with you when you bounce around the world.

Homeschooling in the US works out much better now than it did in the time the article describes, because the government did something out of character: it actually returned some liberty to parents that it had taken from them.
